I was bored, and decided to do some power rankings.
1. Danni: I think Danni's in a decent spot. If you asked me pregame, I would've told you Danni would've gone premerge or as merge boot, but she's surprised me by sticking it out, even after having a target placed on her. (Even if the target seemingly came out of nowhere) Danni's at risk to go either this round or the next, but if she's sitting up there, I think it'd be hard to NOT give her the win, since she's done so much. Not to say she'll auto win if she's up there, but given her confessionals I also think she'd be good at arguing her case - it's close, but I give her the edge. Morgan is most likely a shield for her this round, and then I think she's one immunity away from the win.
2. Nick: This was a major toss up between him and Burton. But, provided the two "big threats" (Morgan and Danni) go these next two rounds, I think he's in a prime position to win. It's not a slam dunk, Burton could pull it out, but my read is the jury likes Nick, and he has eliminating Shirin, and switching sides to eliminate Gabe and Sash, on his record. The "default" F3 is what he needs to win, but there's a solid shot of it happening.
3. Burton: Burton's an interesting spot. He most likely, much like Nick, needs Danni and Morgan out to win. But, if its him, Kim, and Nick up there, I think he can point to the Ciera vote and repeatedly getting votes yet surviving as reasons why he should win. It'd be a tossup between him and Nick, but I'm not counting him out.
4. Morgan: If she's at the end, I think she can beat just about anyone by virtue of the Davis votes, except arguably Danni. (Although getting several of this Read votes may be tricky, since shes rubbed some of them the wrong way.) Her issue is, she's just been blindsided by this Sash vote, so barring an immunity win eyes are most likely on her. And, even if she does survive this vote, its most likely at the expense of Danni, which means that, once again, she needs to win the immunity. It's a dicey path, although if she does make it through it'd be amazing and really fun to watch.
5. Kim: Kim's drawing dead, even if she's more or less guaranteed FTC. It's a shame, I've seen her pull off amazing things, like a near unanimous win in the final completed States game (RIP that series btw) but her social game hasn't been on point here. She'll most likely finish in 3rd, barring a major turnaround - at this point its too deep to eliminate the goat, it would've had to been at F6 at the latest, since everyone's expecting a F3, and I don't know if any amazing argument could convince this jury she should win, if she comes up with one.
